Thought about removing the center stand for more ground clearance.

My 650 Sport could use some more ground clearance. But then again if I had more ground clearance i'd be riding the thing through turns like a sport-bike. Anyone else wish that there was more ground clearance?

Have you scraped it? That would be impressive!

There's nothing like looking when you're trying to find something.

I replaced the two sacrificial bolts on my center stand last year. I ended up just keeping the shock set at its highest setting which helps keep the grinding down. It really is impressive how this scooter can corner, a couple of my friends with motorcycles were very surprised.

The center stand is very useful. Try changing a tire without it or adjusting the parking brake. The bike takes up more room in the garage on the side stand. You can warm up the engine if necessary on the center stand as well.
